With the help of Artful Steps program, SLIA has also been busy adorning three large planters in Downtown San Leandro with colorful mosaics, depicting moments in San Leandro history from the Ohlone times to present day. There are nine planters remaining in the Downtown area, and SLIA invites local stakeholders and businesses to sponsor their beautification in the same fashion.

For more information about Downtown San Leandro’s “Truth Thursdays,” how to sponsor a planter mosaic, or to learn more about SLIA in general, visit www.downtownsanleandro.com. Future “Truth Thursdays” events will be held on June 28, July 26, and August 23 and will have rotating food trucks and live music at each event, so attendees can be sure to experience something different every month. Attendees are encouraged to ride BART to the event, or park in the BART parking lots.
